We were excited when we found out that salmon was 50% off with coupon at
Earth Fare, a supermarket in our area. That supermarket offers good deals and freebies weekly. What we need to do is just register and they'll send notification usually on Wednesday for what's special deal they have for that week. Since the location of the store is not far from where I work, hubby and I like to go there whenever their good deal interests us.
I baked the salmon this time. I found
an easy recipe online and adapted a little bit. I may say that this one is much easier than the easy soy-sauce salmon I made earlier this month because I have a jar of pesto basil I made last year. Since there was some pesto left after I did the salmon, I also used it to coat some green tomatoes and baked them together with the salmon. I loved the combination of juicy salmon, salty aromatic pesto and sourish taste from the tomatoes. Yummm...
Foil-Baked Salmon with Basil Pesto
Ingredients:
3 (6 oz) salmon fillets
Basil pesto
(Green) tomatoes, sliced
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Wash the salmon then pat dry using paper towel. Tear three large sheets of aluminum foil. Place salmon on top. Spread 1 tablespoon basil pesto on each piece and lay sliced tomatoes on top.
Fold over sides and double the seams and ends so it is sealed completely. Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
